A Stunning PRS Solidbody!
The Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 shares the distinction (with the Custom 22) of being among the first guitars crafted by Paul Reed Smith. The success of the Custom 24 gives it an esteemed place in the expanding PRS lineup, and this version is a beautiful, playable instrument that sounds at least as good as it looks. It features a breathtaking quilt maple 10-top paired with a solid Mahogany body, 24-fret mahogany neck with a comfortable wide-thin neck carve, and a rosewood fretboard with abalone bird inlays. Premium Dragon II pickups with covers give the Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 great tone.

Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 at a Glance:
  • Mahogany back, carved quilt maple 10-top
  • 24-fret mahogany neck with wide-thin carve and abalone bird inlays
  • Rosewood fretboard
  • HFS and Vintage Bass Pickups
  • Superbly finished using the finest stains

The Custom 24 woods
The Custom 24 features a solid mahogany back and a carved quilt maple 10-top, a combination that results in both tremendous tone and a look that's guaranteed to turn heads. Every single piece of wood that goes into a PRS Guitar is painstakingly chosen and carefully handled. An experienced PRS craftsman checks each piece for flaws, strength and stability.

What is a 10-Top?
A very small percentage of the maple trees cut in North America are actually figured. To make "10-Top" status, a PRS top must have clearly defined figure across its entire top. A guitar designated as a 10-Top will have a small "10" written on the back of the headstock in the upper right corner. Some of PRS's earlier guitars have the "10" stamped into the finish in the same position.

HFS and Vintage Bass Pickups
Originally meaning Hot, Fat and Screams, the HFS is a powerful pickup with a balance of aggression, clear highs, strong midrange, and strong bass. The HFS bridge and Vintage Bass neck pickups work well when coil tapped. PRS pickups are built in-house to Paul's exacting specifications. Years of work and research have been spent on the important details such as focusing on the highs so they sing instead of shriek, or contouring the bass tone so it's punchy, not boomy. After all, the subtleties are what make the difference in how your pickups sound.

Gorgeous finish
Utilizing the most advanced finishing technology, PRS has developed fat, ultra-high gloss finishes and rich stains that exquisitely highlight the color and grain of the woods while retaining the fast, smooth feel of vintage lacquer. Because color is an important component in any guitar's appearance, PRS dyes are specially blended to look their very best under stage lights, shining with such luster and brilliance that the guitar truly looks every bit as good as it sounds.
